You can still get useful stuff from this site, even though we won't give you full working programs to answer your
questions...

Once you have tried to write the thing, and met a few problem for which you can't find the answer in the doc
(man perldoc), feel free to come back and ask specific technical questions. People are quite friendly here,
contrary to what you may infer from the reaction to your first posts.

But people asking for their homework
to be automagically done by professionals programmers
for free are naive fools. Plus, they don't learn anything. And they are frowned upon.

When putting a smiley right before a closing parenthesis, do you:

Use two parentheses: (Like this: :) )
Use one parenthesis: (Like this: :)
Reverse direction of the smiley: (Like this: (: )
Use angle/square brackets instead of parentheses
Use C-style commenting to set the smiley off from the closing parenthesis
Make the smiley a dunce: (:>
I disapprove of emoticons
